STR #196 “Kill Switch” Recap S7E8

Join us tonight on Stana Talk Radio as we discuss “Kill Switch,” an intense and exciting episode written by showrunner David Amann and directed by Jeannot Szwarc.

Here are the discussion questions for tonight’s round table:

1. What did you think about the episode overall? What was your favorite aspect/scene of this episode?

2. Last night’s episode, or “Esposode” as Rob Hanning dubbed it, was one of those rare episodes in which Castle and Beckett take a step back from the limelight and the ensemble takes center stage. What do you enjoy about episodes like this?

3. “Kill Switch” was an episode reminiscent of fan favorites like “Still,” “Cops & Robbers,” “Cuffed,” episodes where the bulk of the story takes place in one contained location. What’s your take on “bottle episodes” like these? Do you enjoy them? Why or why not?

4. We have spent a lot of time getting to know Beckett and Castle on a deeply personal level over the last 6+ seasons. Though we feel like we know them, too, there are still a lot of things we don’t know about our supporting characters. What is something you would like to explore about the rest of the crew at the 12th?
